SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Town of Erie Transportation Planning staff are working with Fehr and Peers to update the Town of Erie 2018 Transportation Mobility Plan (TMP). The TMP update is occurring in conjunction with the Elevate Erie Comprehensive Plan update. As a precursor to the Elevate Erie visioning sessions next month, Town staff and the consultant will share innovative transportation policy, visionary multimodal network designs, and funding choices peer communities recently adopted in Comprehensive Plans and TMPs. The consultant will provide peer examples, interactive polling, and facilitated conversations. Peer community examples and outcomes from Colorado and Western U.S. communities will be presented and discussed. Biographies of the presenters are provided below.
